Abstract: Let Am,n be the tensor product of the Laurient polynomial algebra in m even variables and the exterior algebra in n odd variables over the complex field , and the Witt superalgebra Wm,n be the Lie superalgebra of superderivations of Am,n. In this paper, we classify the simple weight Wm,n modules with finite-dimensional weight spaces with respect to the standard Cartan algebra of Wm,0. Every such module is either a simple quotient of a tensor module or a module of highest weight type.


Witt algebras are one of the most important classes of infinite dimensional Lie algebras. The representation theory of Witt algebras has been studied by many mathematicians with rich achievements. Witt superalgebras are the super version of Witt algebras. More precisely, for any nonnegative integers \(m,n\), let \(A_{m,n}\) be the superalgebra of tensor product of Laurent polynomial algebra in \(m\) variables and exterior algebra in \(n\) variables. The Witt algebra \(W_{m,n}\) can be realized as the Lie superalgebra of superderivations over the \(A_{m,n}\). In this paper, simple weight modules with respect to the Cartan subalgebra of \(W_{m,0}\) with finite-dimensional weight spaces are classified, which turn out to be simple quotients of tensor modules or generalized highest weight modules.
